I'm trying to log into my Firefox account from a different computer from my personal, but the login page keeps flagging my password as incorrect. On my personal computer I'm able to change my password, but whenever I change it the system flags the "previous" password as incorrect, and none of the ones I change it to register as correct on the second computer. I really don't want to reset my whole Firefox account to be able to log into another computer, please help?

Try entering the login data manually. The problem still there?


Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

If there is still a problem,

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

While you are in Troubleshoot(Safe) mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
